Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mobile vane for a turbine engine, including a root designed to be inserted into a receiving element of a rotor disk for a turbine engine, a platform carried by the root, and a blade extending from the platform. The platform includes an upstream edge. The upstream edge includes a lug for engaging in a locking notch of the disk in such a way as to hold the vane axially in relation to the disk, according to the longitudinal direction of the receiving element.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 9 . (canceled) 10 . A mobile vane of a turbomachine, comprising: a root configured to be inserted in a housing of a rotor disk for a turbomachine, a platform carried by the root, the platform comprising an upstream rim, a blade extending from the platform, wherein the upstream rim comprises a lug for engaging a locking notch of the disk, so as to retain the vane relative to the disk axially downstream along the longitudinal direction of the housing. 11 . A disk for a compressor or turbine of a turbomachine, the disk comprising a housing in which a root of a vane according to claim 10 is configured to be inserted, wherein the disk comprises at least one locking notch for being engaged with the lug, so as to retain the vane relative to the disk axially downstream along the longitudinal direction of the housing. 12 . The disk according to claim 11 , wherein the longitudinal direction is substantially orthogonal to the radial direction of the disk. 13 . The disk according to claim 11 , wherein the longitudinal direction is substantially orthogonal to a circumferential direction of the disk. 14 . The disk according to claim 11 , wherein the locking notch is a groove substantially extending along the circumferential direction of the disk. 15 . The disk according to claim 11 , wherein the housing extends between two consecutive teeth of the disk, the locking notch being located on only one of both teeth. 16 . A rotor wheel comprising a disk according to claim 11 , such that the platform presses against only one tooth and that the lug engages the locking notch of the tooth. 17 . A turbomachine module chosen from a turbine and a compressor, the module comprising a rotor wheel according to claim 16 . 18 . A turbomachine comprising a module according to claim 17 .
